VOLUME 6—NUMBER 15 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 18, 1954 Price $2.00 PER YEAR SOME OBSERVATIONS PRO and CON XXXXX ■ KXXXXS The first answer to the question last week was phoned in by Miss iargaret Walters of Amissville— )livef Cromwell was the one credited with the saying: “Trust in [>d, and keep your powder dry”. Your qusction for the week: *Who was the fiirst commander of |he Rappahannock Cavalry in the ,ivil War?” The first answer will fet a year’s subscription to the Rappahannock News. Well, it looks like the bubble as burst for the local fire com•any. A couple of weeks ago the embers here were all in high ipirits over the prospects of the ^citizens of the Flint Hill community coming into the company, and ||the purchase of the truck, to be placed in that locality. But, like a bombshell a resolution was made k jand railroaded through at the last j regular meeting to keep the truck ||n Washington, So, now Washington has the obligation of purchasing the truck, and not enough in •l ihe treasury to equip it. And Flint ' pill has organized their own comity- ity| • • • • ' The county was alive with fire trucks Monday. Sperryville fighting a fire in Old Hollow; Washington was called to a fire near Scrabble, Also, responding to that fire was a truck,JJrom Culpeper, and the Sperryville boys coming in after they had extinguished theirs. About that time a fire was reported at Highway Garage, near Washington and the Culpeper and Sperryville companies, along with ||Amissville and Front Royal kept |that one under control. About this ?time a fire was reported in the ;|Flint Hill area, so Amissville and ont Royal headed that way and this ftreunder Yontrol. Please, please when you have my trash or weeds to burn make lure you have enough help available to keep it under control, and ake Sure no wind is blowing. Received a very informative letter from the Hon. Tom Frost to|day in reply to a request signed jy a number of citizens in the county asking him to investigate fully the gas tax question coming |up before the Legislature. „I will fquote a part of his letter so as to you know how he feels on the subject The letter is as follows: “I have Ihad two or three lengthy eonverfsations with General Anderson, land he positively states that he l-cannot carry on his program with |the present funds and as the dual |lane highway is under construction land I intend to keep right behind Ithis to see that this construction [is completed I feel that I should [support the gas bill. This approval has the backing of a large numIber of citizens.*' I, for one wish to thank Mr. [Frost for this information and acknowledge that he is in a position to know more about what the needs of the State are, than most of us who never hear the vital questions aired fully.

RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS PUBLISHED THURSDAY MORNING At Washihgton, Rappahannock County Virginia DIAL WASHINGTON 2851 BRUCE S. BOWIE..Publisher —Entered as second-class mail matter at SUBSCRIPTION: (in advance) $2.00 a year Letter To The Editor This is in response to an item found in your, “Some Observations, Pro and Con Column” newspaper of February 11, 1954. In this column you state that there for a few years we had good mail service, then go on to leave the idea with your readers that the service is now very poor, and you wind up the column by saying in a few years we will make another change in Washington, D. C. and we will be able to get our mail on time again. For the record may I say that you are the most uninformed publisher of a newspaper that I have the priviledge of serving. For your information may I state that the men and "women that are now handling the mail are the same ones that were handling it under the Democrats. We made mistakes under the Democrats and we are making them under the Republicans. In the Postal Service as well as in any other business it is unfortunate but mistakes are made since the person that does not make mistakes once in awhile is not doing much work. The only persons that have been replaced since the Republicans went into v Office are a few of the Postmasters in the Bigger Offices and since very ' few of them do actual sorting of the mail especially NEWSPAPERS, I again say that the personnel of the «_ii ~ ; Post Office is the same. It is very unfortunate that the Post Office is in Politics at all then maybe we could really get better service. As a Postal Employee with eight years of service under both Administrations, I do hope that you will correct your erroneous statement in your next edition as I will be looking forward to reading it. Yours for a Bigger and Better Postal Service. Maurice Walker 2727 So. Wayne St. Arlington 6, Va. THE MAN BORN BLIND John 9 By G. iM. Profitt N The story of the blind man in Chapter 9 of John’s Gospel is a very fascinating one, also a very illuminating one. There is always a question in our minds as to why certain things happen, and that is the question here. The disciples attributed this man’s affliction to the sin of his parents or to himself in some previous existence and so they asked Jesus why. The story breaks itself into several parts: Verses 1-7 reveals the record of the sign; Verses 8-23 reveal the discussion following the sign; Verses 24-34 reveal the acts and excommunication of the man by the Pharisees; and Verses 35- ' .41 gives the response of Jesus. ' As Jesus was passing by He sees the man and the disciples ask Him the question as to why he was bom blind and Jesus answers, “I am not here to solve those problems, but to remove the causes of them”. He left their question dangling in the air and began immediately to perform the restoring of sight to the poor hapless man. He is not so much concerned— with our problems as He is with bringing joy, light and happiness out of them. He had just claimed to be the light of the world and now He was manifesting it through giving this man his vision. Upon receiving his sight the rulers, scribes, and Pharisees imme- . diately challenged the man to tell how he received his sight and then refused to believe when he told them. They then asked the man’s opinion of the one who healed him and he proclaims Jesus a prophet. The rulers then try to persuade him to change his mind about Christ and because he refuses to do so they excommunicate him from their society and worship. They were so blinded by tradition, hatred, prejudice, etc., that they could not see the truth concerning Jesus. The man had greater" wisdom than they and grew rapidly in his apprehension of Jesus. When Jesus heard about their actions toward the man He came and took the man into a new fellowship with Him. Their action showed that their religion, though it was Divinely created, had died spiritually. It had degenerated into a system of forms only. When our religion becomes a sort of hokus pokus affair, that is keeping and observing a certain form or ritual we have departed from the original intent and are missing the object of worship all together. Notice how this men Advanced in his conception of Jesus as over against these rulers etc., when he received his«sight he said: “A man called Jesus’* did the work, this means someone else had told him about Jesus. Then he next replied in answer to their question as to who Jesus was, “He is a prophet,” this means that he had advanced to the stage of connecting Jesus with God. That meant growing apprehension upon his part. Then when they asked him to declare Jesus a sinner he refused and answered, “If this man were not from God He could do nothing.** He is sure now of Jesus connection with God. Then* when Jesus found the man in the temple and asked him if he believed on Him, the man replied, “Lord, I believe,’* and he worshipped Jesus there. This is always true when we make a clean sweep of all the barriers in our lives that hold us back from Christ. Faith leads to sight, when the man Went by faith to the pool and washed, he returned seeing. That is true of us all in accordance to our willingness to obey Christ/ Washington Theatre Shows: 7:15 and 9:00 P.M.

as viewed by YOUR SENATOR A. WILLIS ROBERTSON WORDS OF WASHINGTON APPROPRIATE FOR TODAY It lias become a well established custom to read Washington’s Fare* well Message in both the House and the Senate on the anniversary of his birth on February 22nd. I wish there were such a custom in all of the schools of America because the advice which Washington gave the new nation on that occasion is just as sound today as when the address was first delivered. I serve on five Subcommittees of the Senate Appropriations Committee which handle the major part of the budget with the exception of the defense establishment. Naturally, I am —disturbed over -the iact- that even though we have no recession which will cause a major loss in tax collections and no ta* cuts in excess of ♦hose recommended by the President, we will still close the next fiscal year with a deficit of approximately three billion dollars. Frankly, my present guess is that it will be larger that that. On this subject, the Father of his Country in his Farewell Message said: “As a very important source of strength and security, cherish public •redit. One method of preserving it IS, to use it as sparingly as possible; avoiding occasions of expense by cultivating peace, but remembering •Iso that timely disbursements-to prepare for danger frequently prevent much greater disbursements to repel it; avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt, not only by shunning occasions of expense, but by vigorous Exertion in time of peace to discharge the debts, which unavoidable wars may have occasioned, hot ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burden which we ourselves ought to bear. The execution of these maxims belongs to your representatives, but ; it is necessary that public opinion should co-operate.” The first part of Washington’s Farewell Address was devoted to discussion of the vital importance of national unity and with the proper part which political parties should play in the development of the new nation. He said: “The name of America, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations.” That same sentiment had been first echoed by Patrick Henry in the first session of the Continental Congress when he said: “I now speak no longer as a Virginian. I speak now and henceforth as an American':1’ The most vital issue so far tackled by this session of the Congress was „ the Bricker Amendment to curb the power of the President in the negotiation of treaties and executive agreements. On the subject of executive powers Washington said: “It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution, in those intrustecT with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends ,to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this pbsition. The necessity of reciprocal checks in the exercise of political power, by dividing and distributing it into different depositories and constituting each the guardian of the public wealth against* invasions by the others, has been evinced by* experiments ancient and modern, some of them in our country and under our own eyes. mwaiiimiO ram Ctmfaa Now Is The Time To Spread VIGORO For Better Lawns and Gardens Geo. €.

Fords New Ball-«Joint Suspension gives you the Newest Ride on the Road! v •• ; ^ . • “■ ; - , ----- • -- - - - . 7 — revo I u t i o n a ry n ew Fo rd f ro n t suspension soaks up road shock before it reaches you I <_'• A. . Makes all riding and handling easierl Seals out dirt. You can forget road splash because dirt and water can’t get into the ball joints in Ford's new front suspension. Each of the four joints is effectively sealed by a unique rubber-and-metal shield. This means that contact surfaces of each ball and socket remain clean—wear is kept to a minimum. Keeps that new-car feel. You’ll enjoy Ford’s new-car feel much longer because ball joints are spring-loaded to compensate automatically for any wear. Front wheels hold alignment far longer than with conventional systems. Ball joints can’t stick or bind. Steering remains consistently easy. The “old” roads won’t seem the same with Ford’s new Ball-Joint Suspension “paving” the way for you. You’ll enjoy a softer, more level ride because Ford’s new system allows greater shock absorbing movement of the front wheels. Handling is far better, too, not only on turns but on the straightaways as well. That’s because conventional kingpins have been replaced by simple, sealed ball joints that won’t stick or bind. No other car in Ford’s field can equal this modem ride— because no other has Ball-Joint Suspension. * Agile new performance, too, is yours in a ’54 Ford. Whether you choose Ford’s new 130-h.p. Y-block V-8 or 115-h.p. I-block Six you get the quick response and smooth* quiet operation of a modern overhead valve, low-friction deep-block engine. And no matter which of Ford’s 28 new models you choose you enjoy recognized style leadership—with clean, modern lines . . . sparkling new colors . . . and harmonizing upholstery fabrics and trim. Eliminates 12 wear points. Ford’s Ball-Joint Front Suspension eliminates 12 of 16 points of wear found in conventional systems. Rubber-bushed supports at inner ends of suspension control arms not only reduce the number . of wear points but also insulate chassis from road noises. 1 We cordially invite you to Test Drive a 54 Ford MERRILL MOTOR COMPANY WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA : <r DIAL 2921
